Organic Grower Summit 2018 Opens Exhibitor Registration
MONTEREY, CA - Organic companies up and down the supply chain can take heart; exhibitor booth registration is now open for the 2018 Organic Grower Summit (OGS). Taking place December 12-13, 2018, in Monterey, California, OGS will feature two days of information, education, and networking opportunities with organic growers.
“There is a strong appetite for information and networking opportunities that bring together the various sectors of the organic community. OGS is an outstanding opportunity to exchange ideas and information that help us to advance organic for a healthy world,” said Cathy Calfo, Executive Director/CEO of the California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF), in a press release.
The show, produced by CCOF and the Organic Produce Network (OPN), will include targeted educational sessions on various aspects of organic production from leading authorities. Organic supply chain partners and service providers are encouraged to sign up for a booth at the second annual OGS.
“The organic community truly sees the benefit of an event connecting organic growers and farmers with those in the supply and service chain. As organic continues to grow, the need for expanded education and information throughout the farming community is paramount to its continued success,” noted Tonya Antle, Co-Founder of the Organic Produce Network. “Working together with CCOF, OGS is the right event to bring all components of our community together to exchange ideas and information.”
